Hi I am new to the world of linux:cheer: . I installed ubuntu on an old mac and it works well. Now I want to run linuxcnc on it. I burned the live cd and it works, I install it and the computer starts up again and there is a question mark on the screen. I have installed ubuntu back on it. and try to make a live usb and not work at all. Who can help with a simple explanation so that I can run linuxcnc on my old mac?

When I install the DVD I can finish everything through the entire menu. then I restart the computer. and then I get a question mark on the screen. And can then do nothing more. Do you have a solution?

Start the computer then immediately press and hold the SHIFT button to get to the GRUB screen, then follow his advice.
